What affects the price in Gorse Hill
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gorse Hill. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gorse Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Gorse Hill
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
